Accumulation of Radioactive Emanation in a Cylindrical Mine Workings

Abstract

The calculation of the concentration of emanation in a mine workings traversed in radioactive rocks is of interest for mining and radiometric applications. Let, for example, there are two environments - an active space A and a cylindrical mine workings B of diameter 2a . Space A is characterized by the apparent diffusion coefficient D₁ and porosity coefficient η₁, space B by the apparent diffusion coefficient D and porosity coefficient η.
